Saturday Eve POST October 14 1961 BOB NEWHART OREGON
THE COVER: Designer Herb Lubalin specializes in telling stories with typography. The story he tells on our cover ... need we explain it? ... is that of a world torn by differences in ideology. We had commissioned Lubalin to design a symbolic motif for our Marquis Childs novel, but we were so impressed by the simplicity and freshness of his work that we used it on our cover too. Although the Post's traditional cover painting will continue to appear regularly, we shall occasionally use covers of pure design and from time to time publish a photographic cover.
ARTICLES:
OREGON ... by one of her admirers ... dramatically illustrated in seven pages of color.
Backstage: Pete Martin probes comedian BOB NEWHART'S button-down mind. [NICE, In-depth article, with multiple photos!]
Fourteen years on Hollywood's blacklist described by RING LARDNER JR.
Classic pictures of the doolies' rugged welcome at the AIR FORCE ACADEMY.
A bevy of beauty queens.
An eyestopping look at top jockey Sellers.
Provocative arguments against the "destructive" policies of our city planners.
Stories by GERALD KERSH, ALLAN SEAGER, and ROBERT MURPHY. (Full page illustration by Murray Tinkelman)
MARQUIS CHILDS: "In the course of many months in the city by the Lake of Geneva, I saw a great many men struggling to resolve the terrible dilemma of our time.While my patience was often worn out with the long and seemingly futile quadrille, nevertheless I came to have a great deal of compassion for these men, and I suppose this is one reason why I wrote THE PEACEMAKERS." This veteran columnist has covered most of the high-level "peace" conferences in Geneva since World War II. His book, Eisenhower: Captive Hero, was an immediate best seller when it appeared in 1958. THE PEACEMAKERS, which you will find almost chillingly prophetic in light of the recent combat in Tunisia, seems destined for similar success. The leading players: CALEB FULTON, American Secretary of State: Could he restrain the tough, impatient Pentagon general? GEOFFREY HAWKES, Britain's Foreign Secretary: The wife of his Under Secretary had established some entangling alliances. FREDERIC DUHAMEL, Foreign Minister of France: He ... and his country ... were in the shadow of humiliation and defeat. THE RUSSIANS ... Volkonkov and the man known as Stoneface.
PEOPLE ON THE WAY UP: Timmie Schneider, Harold Brown, Johnny Sellers. [Full page on each!]
AND ALSO The fifth & final inning of Casey Stengel's own story, as told to POST Sports Editor Harry T. Paxton.

POST December 16 1961 DICK SARGENT ACTING DAUGHTERS
THE COVER. Put That Old Gang of Mine in the same room with a piano and a pretty girl to play it, and soon The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round. But regard the intrusion of an aspiring Isolde just as the harmony reaches a peak of perfection. She lustily contributes so many decibels that even deaf Beethoven winces at the vibrations. Stormy Weather begins to blow. Our overgrown Alice Blue Gown obviously enjoys belting out a soprano supplement to Sweet Adeline (molto espressivo), although in a style more Wagnerian than barbershop. On the other hand, the disgruntled quartet clearly wishes she would sing "Show Me the Way to Go Home" or get On a Slow Boat to China. Then they could go back to "Ain't We Got Fun?" (con brio).

DEPARTMENTS: Letters; Post Scripts; Hazel; Editorials.
THE BERLIN CRISIS: KHRUSHCHEV'S WEAKNESS. Since mid-October Post editor Stewart Alsop has been traveling in Europe to gather material for a series of exclusive reports on the Berlin crisis, its significance in the struggle between Communism and the free world, and the way the West should handle it. From Berlin Alsop flew to Warsaw and then went by automobile to Moscow, where he covered the recent Party Congress. In this article (page 13) he deals with the meaning of the Wall ... twenty-five miles of concrete dividing Berlin, whose west- ern sector is 'a bone in Khrushchev's throat." Next week Alsop will report on Khrushchev's strength ... the "new Soviet man." A third article will evaluate the West's strengths and weaknesses.
LET'S PUT WOMEN IN THEIR PLACE. From George Sumner Albee comes a protest against a uniquely American custom. Women, he says, should not be allowed to enter into men's conversations ... unless they have been trained by their husbands in the art of talking logically and to the point. Mrs. Albee, her husband tells us, has been successfully trained, as certainly appears to be the case, judging from the evidence in the picture at right of the Albees enjoying each other's conversation. Although author Albee has written twelve short stories for us, this week's "Speaking Out" is his first article in The Post (page 8).
CLEDWYN HUGHES, whose first Post story appears in this issue, lives with his wife, young daughter Nandi and assorted domestic animals in a blue-and-white farmhouse in the English countryside, where he raises peaches, figs, exotic plants and energetic frogs ... the last to keep slugs off the former. Apart from the frogs, there is also a large snow-white cat who adores ice cream and chilled food, and a dirty-white pony who will walk a mile to get his favorite diet of roses in high bloom. At any moment, Mr. Hughes writes us, he expects 'hIs small daughter to develop a taste for pate' de foie gras, truffles and caviar. Author Hughes's touching story is about a little girl who is the best Maypole dancer in her village and who lives in a black-and-white farmhouse in the English countryside (HOW CAN WE TELL THE DANCER FROM THE DANCE? page 26).
ALSO: Mix a specialist in international affairs, a student of philosophy and a Ph.D. in musicology with one banjo, one guitar and one bass fiddle. Result: that fast-rising trio of folk singers, the Limeliters (Egg heads With a Big Beat, page 32). An eminent astronomer explains the newest theories about how our solar system's planets were created (Adventures of the Mind: The Birth of Worlds, page 54). Laurance Rockefeller: merchant of nature, crusading to provide more national parks for Americans (His Millions for the Big Outdoors, page 79).

Saturday Evening POST December 10 1960 GEORGE HUGHES
THE COVER: The small face between those large garments suggests that little pitchers' eyes are as big as their ears. Does that face look familiar? It should, for it belongs to Gordon Howard, aged nine, an Arlington, Vermont, neighbor of artist GEORGE HUGHES. Gordon posed for the post-Christmas scene on our January-ninth cover. That week his mother was ordering him to express his appreciation -- in writing -- for the loot his Uncle Vic sent him. Our guess is he plans to compose his thank-you-Uncle-Vic in advance this time; so when that football is officially his, he'll be able to kick it instead of writing notes about it. We admire such foresight, and at the risk of enraging the parents in our audience we would remind our young readers that there are less than twenty snooping days until Christmas.

Lapham, who joined The Post in 19692, is a former reporter for the San Francisco Examiner and the New York Herald Tribune.... EDMUND G.

Saturday Evening POST December 3 1960 DICK SARGENT
THE COVER: More and more communities are discovering that the female of the species is well suited to the task of wiping school children's noses, tucking in their scarves and mothering them across streets. A woman's work is never done, they (women) say. Neither is her make-up. It's 9:05 A.M., and as the last youngster hustles up the school walk, female vanity overrules policemanlike vigilance. We have a suspicion that our cover girl is up to something, and we feel it our civic duty to warn the desk sergeant -- no relation to artist DICK SARGENT -- to have an answer ready when his phone rings and an appealing voice says, "Crossing Guard Tracy reporting, sir. Is there a radio car near here? There is? Be a dear, sergeant, and give me a lift home. My husband's boss is coming for dinner tonight, and...."

Sat Eve Post May 20 1961 THORNTON UTZ WILLIE MAYS
THE COVER: What is so rare as a freethinker on Conformity Street? our Utz cover asks. Notice how No. 319 smugly lights a stogie in response to glares from Nos. 313, 315, 317, 321 and 323. No. 319 is one up already, and he hasn't even reached the first tee. If he can retain that composure under the eyes of a gallery, he's certain to win the Conformityville Open. He won't win any neighborhood popularity contests, however. The lawn slaves are sore because 319's wife lets him spend his Saturdays as he pleases. And ... scab! deviationist ! ... he doesn't seem to regard the power mower as a status symbol. He reasons that he doesn't need a lawn mower. A lawn, says Webster, is "ground covered with fine grass kept closely mown." No. 319's weed patch is what's known in golfing circles as "rough."

S E POST September 15 1962 JOHN FALTER JOANNE WOODWARD
THE COVER. Part of the fun of owning a sports car stems from coping with minor inconveniences such as having to put up your top in a sudden rainstorm. Artist JOHN FALTER approached this "fun" with feeling. Once he owned a sports car himself -- a 1947 English Singer Drop-Head Coupé with Self-Canceling Trafficators. It wasn't waterproof.

FICTION:
The Ebony Bed ... By Frank Farnham. Illustrated by Joe Kaufman.
After the Kids Have Gone ... By Steve McNeil. George Porter.
The Riot Maker ... By Paul Jones. Illustrated by Douglas Crockwell.
DEPARTMENTS: Letters. Post Scripts. Hazel. Editorials.
KID GANGS. "Juvenile delinquency," warns Vincent Riccio, "is getting worse. The record is clear. Nobody is actually helping these kids." Riccio tried. For five tension-ridden years this muscular ex- boxer shared the shattered lives of kids who used narcotics, stole and fought gang battles in a teeming Booklyn slum. Today, as a physical education instructor, he has more time to spend with his wife and two children. But he's never been able to sever his emotional ties to the kids in the city slums. His collaborator, Manhattan-born Bill Slocum, is a columnist for the New York Daily Mirror.
OTHER BY-LINES. Lois Dickert is a free-lance writer who covers the film colony from her home in Los Angeles. . . . Smith Hempstone, who probes Ghana's leftward list, has spent six of his thirty- three years in Africa. Researching this article, he "talked with tribal chiefs in the remote North, ate stewed rat (it tastes rather like squirrel) and slept in abandoned castles built by 16th century mariners." . . . As a Salt Lake City newsman, Jack Goodman has made several trips to record progress at Glen Canyon Dam.... Washington Post sports columnist Shirley Povich first got to know Harmon Killebrew when the youngster joined the Senators in 1954, and has retained a keen interest in the slugger's career ever since. . . . Florence Pritchett Smith is the wife of a former U.S. ambassador to Cuba.... Author of several books on probability (among them: How To Lie With Statistics) dollar- stretcher Darrell Huff insists that the hard-to- believe figures he gives on page 60 are accurate... THE DECLiNE AND FALL OF FRIENDSHIP, says Morton Hunt, "represents a small effort to do some original thinking. It shouldn't upset my real friends." . . . An up-to-date acquaintance with modern art was the ice-breaker when contributing editor Peter Maas set out to profile New York's fast-moving governor. "He relaxed," Maas recalls, "the moment I mentioned the subject." The interview flowed smoothly from Picasso into politics.

Sat Eve Post March 3 1962 DICK SARGENT WHITEY FORD
THE SCENE ON OUR COVER this week will surely touch a responsive chord in every parent. The idea was suggestec to artist DICK SARGENT by Post readers Walter and Barbara Jackowski of Danville, Illinois, shortly after they had taken their baby, Stanley Frank,~ for his first shot. Small Stanley put his parents to shame too, for he continued to gurgle and smile throughout the Terrible Ordeal. Sargent tells us that hundreds of readers have sent him suggestions for covers, but this was the first one he has ever been able to use. And getting an idea is only the first step. Sargent spoofs the next problem -- selling the idea to The Post's Art Editor Ken Stuart -- in his sketch below. Sargent shows Art Editor Stuart a proposed cover: Sargent by Sargent.

ROBED L. WHEARLEY. who writes about the ski-and-culture resort town of Aspen, Colorado (ASPEN: SKI HEAVEN, page 16), is a Denver newspaperman who likes to explore the Rockies in a jeep but not on skis. In researching the article, he says, "I kept to the lower levels of Aspen." A transplanted easterner thirty-three years old, he grew up in New York City, quit school at sixteen, lied about his age and went into the Army. The war ended. So did his paratrooper training, and he talked himself into being assigned to the Army's newspaper Stars and Stripes. He's been a newspaperman ever since. Now a reporter for the Denver Post, Bob worked on the infamous Denver police scandals long before the extent of corruption became public knowledge. In fact, Bob's early nosing about made him suspicious enough to write a memo that persuaded Colorado's Governor Stephen L. R. McNichols to bring the state into the investigation. At the same time Bob established a reputation in the police department for trustworthiness. From his conversations with Bobbie Whaley, a Denver policeman now in jail, came the article in our February 10 issue I WAS A BURGLAR WITH A BADGE (by Whaley as told to Whearley). Whearley says that he's been trying for years to sell fiction (Westerns) to us but with no luck. So he is still surprised at having his by-line appear in our pages twice in less than a month.
A PRETTY GIRL wants to go to college in order to become a teacher. The Miss Teen-age America contest offers four years of college to the winner. Result: prospective teacher Holly Mae Shick of Cincinnati, who has top grades, a sparkling personality and poise gained from working part time as a model, entered the Miss Teen-age America contest. In this issue author Joe Alex Morris tells how the contest began, how it works and who benefits most from it. How did Holly Shick fare? See page 52.
